Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The blind spot system was a problem when I purchased the car, it spent 15 days in service in the first 30 days of ownership to address the issues. Now, I after another light came on I discovered 9 open recalls on the vehicle that were not disclosed prior to purchase.”

NHTSA complaint #11736255, filed 2026-05

“Idle stop caused engine to stall 3 separate times leaving me stranded in busy intersections making it difficult to restart vehicle and move safely out of the way. Initial start up checks come on, asked to put car in park, step on brake to restart car, car won’t restart. Once happened at night and shut off all my lights for 30 seconds making me not visible for cars coming up to me.”

NHTSA complaint #11555533, filed 2023-11

“My car went completely dead while stopped in traffic on a busy street. My kids were in the car and thankfully I was able to crank it by pressing the start button. This issue has already been “fixed” and the dealership “cannot replicate””

NHTSA complaint #11683020, filed 2025-08

“Car stuttered and completely stopped running on the road. Cops had to come and direct traffic around me while my car had stopped. Towed the car to the dealership and the fuel pump was identified as the problem. Car has 63000 miles on it.”

NHTSA complaint #11565992, filed 2024-01

“The signal turned Red, as I was braking, the car engine stuttered and car shut off. Startled, push the park button, and pressed the engine start button but no response, pressed again and it started. This happened 6 months before but didn't report it as I thought it was a once off event. 6 months ago, the car was at a red light, the IDLE was ON and when I accelerated cause the light changed GREEN, the car shut off. Get the feeling its due to the IDLE but wanted to report this matter”

NHTSA complaint #11480980, filed 2022-08
